### 4/5 — Needs more emojis

*2019-08-06, version 1.1*

It’s a great game to record your feelings, but (and this has been said a lot but its true) it needs more emojis. Maybe not 20 pages worth of emojis, but enough so people can express themselves. Maybe add ones like “bored”, “apathetic”, “sick”, “lazy”, “disgusted”, “fine”, “loved” etc.

### 4/5 — Helpful but some issues

*2018-10-16, version 1.1*

It would be really helpful if you could have separate statistics for the percentage of emotions you’ve felt all day for one day, then in total that you’ve ever recorded. And maybe even all the emotions in a week or month.
Also, please please please add the option to edit a journal entry’s matching emotions. That would be helpful as well.

### 4/5 — Good, but...

*2018-10-13, version 1.1*

I’ve been using this app for two days and this is what I noticed:
- The emotion statistic doesn’t reset which was kind of annoying personally, I think it would be better if you could like make a tracker and you can go back to certain days, see the statistics for the week/month/year etc.
- there’s not that many emotions/emojis, only 12 and I think that there should be more, ones like anxious or crying or sick because I would use those a lil bit more than “confused” but that’s okay 
- there’s only one person you can connect as your instant message which is a nice touch but maybe have a slot for a second or third? That’s not as important tho
Other than that it’s a great app, I can’t wait to see what my statistics are after a few months 😂

### 4/5 — Great and simple app, needs edit feature

*2018-10-12, version 1.1*

I appreciate the resource tab a lot during times of distress. I also really like that there’s a percentage that tracks your moods encouraging more self awareness. If peace is high I can go back and look at what I did that makes me feel more so, and vice versa with worried or anger for instance. 

I wish there was an edit feature. I accidentally hit submit on an unfinished feeling description where I had a lot more to write to reflect back on later. I did not want to add another feeling submission to throw off the percentage.

Thank you

### 3/5 — Good BUT needs more emotions

*2018-09-11, version 1.1*

This app is so nice and easy to use, but it is dire need of more moods!

### 5/5 — Please More emotions

*2018-08-22, version 1.1*

I love this app its amazing but can you please add more emotions

### 4/5 — i love it

*2018-08-17, version 1.1*

i just wish there were more emotions like empty, calm, etc but overall very good♥️

### 4/5 — Great! ⭐️

*2018-08-16, version 1.1*

I think this is and AMAZING app. I struggle with this sort of thing, since feelings are hard to place for me. Only thing that would make it better is more emotions. I and others get stressed and anxious a ton and there’s not an option for that, besides overwhelmed which is a little more extreme. I read a comment about matching your own emoji’s from the keyboard with your emotion and I think that’s even a good idea, if you guys wanted to add that instead of the thousands of emotions one can feel. Also, I wish there was an edit option for previous notes for the emoticons. Great app though.

### 4/5 — Good

*2018-08-14, version 1.1*

It good to express your feelings especially if you are confused or just want to rant because you can talk all about it but like others, it needs more emotions. I in particular need bored because I'm not nessisarly peaceful but just bored.

### 5/5 — Great!!

*2018-08-11, version 1.1*

I love this app, it’s so simple but it’s so helpful. When I feel like I am going to self harm or skip a meal I go straight to this app and it gives me all the help I need. Thank you!!
